2nd time using Gaines & Wilkinson
It's been my 2nd move and this included a sale and purchase. Part of a chain so it took time but I was kept informed throughout and correspondence acted on promptly.

Great speedy service and communication !!
I recently worked with Julia to sell my house, and I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service she provided throughout the entire process. From the moment we began, Julia was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and straightforward.
Julia's attention to detail was second to none. She ensured all the paperwork was in order, handled every step efficiently, and kept me informed at every stage. Her clear communication and willingness to explain things in a way I could easily understand really stood out to me. It was clear she genuinely cared about getting the best result for me.
What I particularly appreciated was how proactive Julia was in managing any potential issues before they became problems. She took all the pressure off me and ensured that the sale progressed smoothly and without delay.
I would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, and highly competent solicitor. Thanks to her, my house sale was completed quickly and with minimal stress. I can’t thank her enough for her hard work and dedication!
